When Huggies invited me to the event with them months ago I was feeling like a pregnancy superhero; I was working and socialising and more importantly Baby H was behaving herself. We lived in London and despite knowing I’d be almost 39 weeks pregnant I thought a day out would not only be do-able, it’d be welcome. Silly Alice!

Fast forward to now and our situation is totally different. I thought long and hard about the decision not to go, but I had to think of the worst scenario which would be going into labour and being a long tube and train ride away from home. Because of Baby H’s position we are under hugely strict instructions to make our way to hospital ASAP as soon as I feel the slightest rumble in my uterus and there are all sorts of nasty complications (cord prolapse – yikes) that could happen if we don’t get there in good time.

Were I still in London and if Baby H was head down as she should be I would have been there with bells on, but as it is I simply can’t risk it.

So that is why you will find me napping and typing today, instead of gassing and tweeting. I hope you’re all having a ball and I will be there next year without fail!
